Money in the wind

The American Wind Power Center will receive more than $43,000 in federal money from Texas Parks and Wildlife to build the 0.37-mile Windmill Lake Trail. The money's part of an 80-20 matching grant, so that means local sources will need to come up with another $10,000 or so.

Texas's parks commission approved the funds today as part of $3.3 million in grants through the National Recreational Trail Grant, according to a statement from the department.

I confess I've no idea where Windmill Lake is, or where such a trail might run, and can't check because I'm up here at City Hall. Seems reasonable to guess that this will be worked into the Canyon Lakes trail system, which runs past the center
